Pleasing Tourists
"Mainstream tourists might have heard of Allosaurus, so there's hope that a pen not devoted to fun lovers, thrill seekers, or dino nerds will still appeal to your mainstream guests. Fun lovers want nothing to do with the Allosaurus, its carnivore instincts are the opposite of what they want to see in a dinosaur, while thrill seekers love the carnage the Allosaurus wreaks. Dino nerds will only be happy if an Allosaurus wanders around with a Brachiosaurus, Camarasaurus, Ceratosaurus, Dryosaurus, Kentrosaurus, or stegosaurus." ~Prima's Official Strategy Guide
